Roberto Martinez discussion

Question - would fellow Blues tolerate relegation if we can still be shown to be progressing ?

We are 12th in the league. We finshed 11th last season. There has been more goals scored at Goodison then any other ground in the league. Any other club and he'd be gone in my opinion. Will never happen though. Overrated in my opinion. If we finish lower than last season i dont see how he stays.

I know a couple who would be very happy as long as we still had el useless

Absolutely not.

If not a managerial change then maybe the coaching style needs a shake up.

Got to love the tinfoil brigade, it's all a conspiracy and everything is fine. Holding onto the possibility of a cup final while a poor poor Swansea team have just bummed us everywhere in that first half

Laughing at the plotters here.

He's not going anywhere lads. Your point of view is worthless. You may as well open up the toilet seat and shout down the bog. no one's interested in what you say outside this forum...or even inside it.

The funny thing is that your view is actually the most worthless of all because it's based on nothing apart from whatever bizarre agenda your pushing.

At least everyone else is building arguments based on what they see. You post the same theme over and over again regardless of what's happening on the pitch.

Even if he does, it won't be for 3 points.

You never know.

But the mentality of the team in the 2nd half are the type of moments that I will remember when it comes to reviewing him at the end of the season.

Needs sacking. Can't even see a structure or formation in the team at times.

Its amateur.

Yeah but we do some good flicks which keep some fans happy

It was a phenomenal first half performance, the way we defended as a unit and only allowed a struggling none scoring team to score 2 goals was a amazing, the players deserve real credit

To be fair I stopped listening to the rubbish spouted by our manager a long time ago. Embarrassing. But you're right he will still find positives.

 

[By god I'm blue]

Can we keep the comments to the merits or not of Martinez not goading those with alternate views. Thank you.

You mean by labelling everybody "plotters" who don't like what they are seeing? Wondered when you guys were going to step in! I feel things like that merely get the backs up of people who are here to want the actual club to do well in al games, not just the actual manager in carling cup games.

Even if we score 2 we'll concede 1.

It's happened 4-5 times this season.

I think the reason Martinez doesn't get the stick the performances deserve is the future promise. He's painted a picture of us building something special, and so people will tolerate poor performances in the short term in the hope it will click in the future.

Everyone has a different point at which they say "enough is enough" however, and it's just a matter of when most fall into the camp that believes it will never click. I'm prepared to give him until the end of the season as I can see the positives, but if we have back to back mid-table finishes with this team (given the utter tripe above us in the table) then I just can't see how it's excusable. Our future hopefuls won't stick around long enough for his vision to become a reality.

 

[Muggins]

We are so rubbish.

Can't defend at all.
